SOME COLORED MEN.

There has been a desire on the
part of some colored men to show
that the present democratic admin
istration is doing great things for
the Negro. MI. Daniel Murry, an
employee in the Congressional Ii.
brary said, In an interview few
weeks ago, that the tone of this ad.
ministratiOn towards the Negro has
caused many of them to declare
for Mr.. Cleveland; that a number of
them will be found supporting the
democratic party in 'SS. Mr.. Muir
~ who is a very intelligent young
man and highly respected in the
community, claims that he knows
the colored people and their poll
ties. 1t is a notorious fact that Mr..
Murry is an Office holder under a
democratic administration and no
doubt presumes that the easiest
way to gain the favor of the admin
istration is to praise it. So far as
MIR. Cleveland is concerned we
agree with Mr.. Murray, but, to
say that the democratic party as a
whole is friendly disposed towards
the colored people is untrue. The
acts of the democratic party daily
convince the colored people that
there is no hope for them in that
party. While Mr.. Cleveland ap-
parently favors the Negro, he
hasn't demonstrated the fact that
Negro democrats shall succeed Ne
gro republicans. The Republican
party found in Senator Bruce GER
tain inherent qualities aud appoint
ed him Register of the Treasury.
If the declaration of Mr.. Cleveland
were true, that colored democrats
should succeed colored republicans,
was there not Negro democrat to
be found to succeed Mr.. Bruce? !?
This idea Of parties not being per-
petuated by official patronage is all
subterfuge. If there were no Offices
to be filed, there would be no fight
between parties. If it is not Office,
why is it that such a howl is kept
up by the democratic outs against
the republican ins?"
The Negro is the great eye sore
to these democrats who are out
and they don't want even demo.
cratic Negroes to be recognized.
The Matthews fight proved that.
Mr.. Murray is north of the Negroes
in the south he doesn't realize the
fact that colored men are oppress-
ed in the south and dare not assert
their manhood for fear of being
by rebels. If Mr.. Cleve-
and and the democratic party want
the colored vote let a Negro cabi-
net officer be appointed and that
will forever obliterate the republi.

NO. POST
DIR. BRODHEAD DEAD.
The Learned Minister Dies in
Canada.

The people of this community were
shocked Monday morning to hear that
atelegram had been received, announc-
ing the death of DR.. Augustus Brod-
head, pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church of this city. He died at 9.45
o'clock Monday morning, at Toronto,
Canada, where he has been visiting
for some time on account of ill health.
The immediate cause of death is
supposed to have been heart trouble.
When he left Bridgeton, a month or
more ago, the Doctor was suffering
from a complication of troubles, hay
fever, which for years has been 'trou-
bling him, being the chief ailment.
The trip seemed to do him no good,
and he continued to get worse until he
died, as stated.
DR.. Brodhead was but once married,
and was the father of two sons, one
Claude, now a minister, and the other,
Wilfred, a machinist, employed at the
Ferracute works, in this city. The
First Presbyterian Church pulpit was
made vacant by the resignation of
Rev. Allen Maxwell, in January, 1881,
and DIR. Brodhead accepted call to
the pulpit, being installed May 4th of
the same year. His death is the first
that has occurred during the pastorate
of any minister of that church since it's
organization.
The announcement of his death
comes very suddenly and to many of
our citizens Unexpectedly. 1t carries
with it grief and sorrow to many
hearts. He will be sadly missed from
the pulpit of the First Presbyterian
Church, in which position he had won
the esteem of the entire community.
DR.. Brodhead was a true Christian
minister, never deviating from the
straight line which he believed the
Master had laid down for his guidance.
He lived life Of righteousness, and his
end was peace. In the pulpit he was
able and learned, and while not bril-
;.fiant as an orator, yet he carried
with him magnetism which
bound his hearers to him. His SER
mons were replete with good thoughts,
clothed in appropriate language.
Taken all in all, he was a model pastor
and model man, whose pure life
reflected great credit on the work in
which he was engaged. The death of
such man is indeed a great loss to
the church and the people.

DIR. Davis was followed by Hon. G.
S. Simms, of Mt Holly, great great
grandson of Rev. Brainard, and he in
a few words told of his famous ances-
tors. With this the morning service
was over and the great congregation
flocked to the chapel across the street,
where a sumptuous dinner had been
provided. Four hundred and seventy
six persons purchased dinner tickets,
and half that number supper tickets.
Between the sessions the crowd wan
dered about the church yard, inspect
ing the old stones which marked the
resting place of many of those who
had been in the church a hundred
years ago.
The afternoon service was as largely
attended as the morning, and Rev.
Allen H. Brown, of the Synod of New
Jersey, addressed the congregation on
the subject of 1.-THE Presbyterian
Church in South Jersey, it's Origin and
Progress" Prof. Caleb Allen also
made an address on the Important
Events Of the past $50 years."
Rev. John T. Sheppard, of Easton,
Pa, a former pastor of the church, was
announced to speak, but did not
arrive. In his place short addresses
were made by Rev. Robt. j. Burt and
Mr.. Tyler, sons of former pastors.
In the evening the congregation was
not SO large, and yet, great many
were present. Able addresses were
made by Rev. James Hunter, of Green
castle, Pa; Revs. VIM. and David
James, former residents of Deerfield,
and others. The service lasted nearly
two hours, and with its close ended
the anniversary celebration of a church
which for one hundred and fifty years
has been the pride of the people of
Deerfeld township. The happy mem
ories which were awakened by the
various speakers will long be cherished
by those who were present, and the
day will not soon be forgotten.
Prominent among the Bridgetonians
present were:-Mayor J. Dubois, G.
E. Sheppard, Esq, DR.. J. B. Potter,
Chas. Reeves, Judge Chas. Hampton,
Justice d. E. Woodruff, Hon. Robt.

Consistency is a Jewel.

Bro. Cheesmap, of the Patriot, is
rapidly assuming the role of chronic
owlerjudgipg from numerous articles
which have of late appeared in his
paper. His criticism of the action of
Council in passing upon the valuation
of the Hotel Cumberland, is not justi.
fable or in good taste. 1t is valuable
property so far as the real worth of
the ground and building is concerned,
but it was built by public spirited citi-
zens for the public benefit, and as such
ought to be encouraged. A moderate
assessment was the right thing, and
when all the circumstances are con-
sidered it was the proper thing. The
criticism on the personal property
value was entirely out of order, and it
will be well for friend Cheesman to
keep quiet in a matter of this kind lest
the horoscope be turned upon the
small tax which he pays upon the very
small valuation which he has returned
to the Assessor upon the personal
property of two farms, well equipped
printing office, and a big block
of stock in a.National Bank. These
properties are of greater value
than the personal property of the
Hotel Cumberland, and yet he has
given them in as one-half less. John,
it is we'll to be consistent, otherwise
we may put our foot into the very pit
which we have digged for another.

Unsatisfactory Horse Trade.

On Saturday afternoon a couple of
Jews from Carmel, drove in town and
managed to strike a trade with Myro
Weldon by giving him $50 in addition
to their horse. They seemed pleased
with the trade and changed the horse
from Weldon's buggy to their wagon.
But after the animal was hitched to
the wagon it banked, and the Jews
wanted to trade back. This Weldon
refused to do and for a while great
was the trouble of the Carmel resi-
dents Finally they went down to
Squire Riley's, made complaint, and
he issued warrant for the arrest of
Weldon, and then went up the street
to see the horse: He tried his persua-
sive powers and in an instant the an
imal started off in such manner as to
make a smile spread over the face of
the Jews. The Squire put the war
rant and complaint in his pocket and
thus the story ended.

Will Not Start.

The Window Light houses in this
section will not start up on the first of
September. This is occasioned by a
demand of ten per cent increase of
wages by the men, which has not yet
been conceded by the manufacturers.
Last year the manufacturers took off
this ten per cent from the wages, and
the men ask that it be returned. There
are factories in the West that have
conceded the advance and will start
up on Thursday. Men from this city
have secured positions in these factor
and are going to work.
1t is earnestly to be hoped that salts
factory terms may be made made by
the manufacturers, and that the
furnaces may soon be in full blast.

Farmers are now feeling pretty good
over the prospects of their tomato
crops. AT the first of the season the
crop was thought to be very light
although the vines were growing
nicely. Now they have commenced to
ripen in good shape, and if an early
frost does not fall the crop will be a
fair sized one.

A cigar firm in New York has intro
duced its tobacco in this city among
the grocerymen. AS an inducement to
take their goods, they offer gold
Elgin watch for every order of three
thousand cigars. A groceryman of
this city gave an order and received
an excellent ladies' watch with his
cigars and later sent an order for an
other 5000. The firm sent him gold
watch but said he must wait for his
cigars, as there were nine thousand
orders ahead of his. The firm make
only $5 on each order, but where they
have nine thousand orders on hand
they have profit ahead OF $45 900.

Glassblowers are among the class of
men who are most healthy and live the
longest. The percentage of deaths in
this trade is very low. A gentleman
of this city, who for a number of years
kept the records and figures of the
1900 men in the hollow ware houses
East and West, says that in the time
he kept these records the largest num-
ber of deaths in single year in all
this number of men was but fourteen,
while one year there were but two.

War Against Irregular Burials

War Against Irregular Burials.
The following circular has been for
warded to the Health Board of New
Jersey, by E. NJ. Hunt, Medical Supt.
ton of the Medical Superintendent of
Vital Statistics has been called to the
fact that, although returns reach this
office, they are often made so long
after the time provided for by law as
to make imperfect the returns for
cities for any given week or month,
and also, so as to seriously delay the
indexing at the central office. Still
more serious is the fact that under
takers bury in some cities, on the GER.
tificate of death, instead of the permit,
and even in some cases, bury without
either, on the promise that they will
afterward made, so irregular a mode
of interment can no longer be tolerated.
Recently an investigation showed six
burial certificates in the hands of one
undertaken, which he had arranged to
send to the City Clerk some time after
the burials took place. All under
takers are now cautioned against any
such delays or Irregularities under
penalty of the law. Boards of Health
are requested to at once proceed
against such violators of their ordi-
nances. All keepers of cemeteries are
warned against allowing burial before
presentation of the required permit,
or of the certificate of death if the
death or proposed place of burial is
within city limits. If any case of re
fusal of burial hereafter occurs, the
undertaken will be held responsible
both by the Courts and by the friends
who suffer by the delay.

On her head She asks no favor Of sex, but
jumps OH the train at full speed, slips through

people in the street car tell number Of
stories about her, that she supports her

crippled brother, who lives down in Blocker
street in dark cellar, but it is impossible to
get at the truth of things where child is in
